From a traffic corridor and wasteland to a lively city
Urban Planning in co-operation with Environment and Transport 18-21 May 2014, Örebro
Welcome to Örebro and the UBC Conference 2014
Örebro is one of Sweden’s fastest growing cities. The interest in building and initiating new projects is higher than ever before and this is putting a lot of pressure on us to enable possibilities
for such endeavours.
Örebro has an amazing city centre with a castle surrounded by water at the core of the city. Here you will find a vibrant city life, beautiful buildings and a park which has been named the
most beautiful park in the country. However, when one arrives in the city by train or by car one is greeted by something entirely different.
We have decided to transform the central passage along the railroad. It is about giving the city a new face but at the same time keeping all functions intact. How can we make this happen?
Please come to Örebro and help us with our challenges!
